AI-Enabled Surveillance Camera

Overview

Description

Growing concerns about safety and property protection are driving the demand for advanced surveillance systems. AI-powered cameras enhance security with real-time object and anomaly detection, offering a more effective solution than traditional CCTV.

This AI-enabled surveillance camera features a dynamically reconfigurable processor (DRP) engine, boosting Vision AI performance. It boasts a platform for enhanced features such as password-protected connections, voice alarms, and motion detection with support for Ethernet or USB video streaming. With 4K 30fps image processing and advanced digital noise reduction (2D and optional 3D), the system ensures superior clarity, reducing graininess and enhancing visibility in low-light conditions—critical for AI-based surveillance and analysis.

System Benefits​:

  • High-performance surveillance camera MPU-based design offers AI processing with DRP-AI, enabling high performance with low power consumption and a low-power standby mode.
  • Cost-optimized surveillance camera MCU-based design features an AI-accelerated MCU with Helium and Ethos-U55 NPU, enabling efficient edge processing for AI/ML tasks like voice localization, speaker tracking, and image enhancement, offering MPU-like performance at MCU-level power and cost.
  • Wide dynamic range, custom image settings (saturation, brightness, contrast, sharpness), and black level correction optimize footage for AI detection, ensuring high performance even in challenging lighting conditions.
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) streamlines setup and enables flexible deployment, while Ethernet protocol (100/1000Mbps) ensures high-speed data transmission for reliable and high-resolution streaming.
  • Reduced power structure size enables compact camera designs and easy integration into systems without bulky infrastructure.
  • AI-based video analytics can monitor crowd movement, congestion patterns, and dwell times for insights.
